In the May Issue of LJppincott's, Colonel Wlllard French^ Pleads for the establishment of regular courses In agriculture, in mechanics, and in home, economics, in the lower grades ?f our public schools.

Our farmers, paying no attention to the science of fanning, which requires the r^tora tlon of the Ingredients of which they have been so prodigal, find production less and less profitable. They pro nounce fanning a failure, and it is little wonder that their boys flock to the cities. "Other nations have long since tak en the tiiatter in hand and have not only vied with us in our Agricultural department to solve the mysteries of the science of agriculture, but have forced upon the farmers the informa tion obtained and placed It in the cur riculum of the schools. In Germany, for example, with an area no larger than the States of Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, and where the land has been under forced civilization for cen turies. the farms produce more than l'alf as much oats, almost as much bops, almost as much barTey, three times as much sugar, six times as , many t pp ta toes, and nine times as much rye as we produce in the entire L'nlte<f 8lates~ In 1907 Germany had 43,000,000 acres planted with wheat, rye, oats, barley and potatoes, and harvested three billion bushels. The some t year we ?ad 88,500,000 acres, more' than twice as much land, plant . ad with tin* Tfpf.lfflt yi har vested only one billion five hundred and seventy-five milil?? bushels? " hardly more than half as1 much. Now, If our farmers had obtained the same yield per acre as was obtained Iff __ the German farmers, we should have tieon better off by one Trillion four hun dred million dollars' In the yield of 1907."%n Germany every boy. even the ?on* of the Emperor, must learn a trade as a part of hts education.

"There is no better soil in the world than.-ours. There is no better agricul tural climate than ours. But the na tions of Europe raise from two to three times more per acre than we do, because the most productive thing in the world Is practical intlligence pro perly applied ?

The slipshod, -?asteful me'liods ?hich we hare been following must Le stopped or the high cost of living will overwhelm us?and the remedy can come only through practical edu cation. Agriculture is but one of the branches which we should Introduce. The benefits from the rest are just obvious. ?? ' "We _ are taking excellent .care of -1.71 per cent, of oar children, in col leges and universities. We take tol erable care of 6.J1 per cent, who go through high schools. But there are left 92 per cent who never pass be yond the elementary grades, the very ones who must quickly depend upon what they know to begin earning a living, who are practically deprived of any possibility of obtaining hints for vocational o industrial lives. They are depNved of what the nation owes them in self-defense, anud our stan dard ot citizenship Is lowered as the result" * : HAOTED. Waking one night and peering through the gloom.
